Answer 1

Moving Bookmarks/Favorites

Internet Explorer

Start in Internet Explorer by clicking File>>Import and Export. A wizard window will open. Click Next. Click Export Favorites and click Next. Select the main Favorites folder and click Next. Select Export to a File or Address. Click Browse. Navigate to Desktop and click Save. Note that the file name is Bookmark.htm. Click Next>>Finish.
Your Favorites are on the desktop in a file named Bookmark.htm. Burn this file to a CD-R or copy it to a flash drive. Go to the new computer and copy the file to the desktop.
Open Internet Explorer on the new computer. Click File>>Import and Export. A wizard window will open. Click Next. Select Import Favorites and click Next. Select Import from a File or Address. Click Browse. Find Desktop and open it. Click Bookmark.htm and click Open. Click Next. Click Favorites as the destination folder. Click Next>>Finish.
Firefox

Firefox is just as easy. Click Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks. Click File>>Export. Browse to Desktop and click Save. The file's name is Bookmarks.html. Burn the file to a CD-R or save it to a flash drive.
Take the file to the new computer. Save it to the desktop. Now, open Firefox on the new computer. Click Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks. Click File>>Import. Under Import Bookmarks From:, select From File. Click Next. Click Bookmarks.html and click Open. That's it.

If you did not change the default location, IE favorites are in
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Favorites

if that does not work, expand you favorites list and right click on any one of them. Then pick proporties from the flyout menu.
the first tab (general) will have a loction for the file.
I think firefox will store the bookmarks in
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Bookmarks

They also have an export favorites option
